I have been using tethered 3G since moving to this place almost a month ago... We are supposedly getting a proper connection at the end of the month. That's what you get living in a VILLAGE, I guess  
I'm pretty happy with the speed though.. (my upload rate is the same as Shaw lol) it's about the same as my wired connection will be 
I just don't like having my phone tied up as a wifi router all the time

It's actually slower than the true download speed using multiple streams. The highest I've seen it go is 11 Mbps. When I get my home connection, it'll be hard capped at 8 Mbps | |

TBH I don't know if they are going to cap me or not. I purposefully signed for a more expensive "tethering" plan, but there is still the vague and arbitrary "fair use policy". I'm not sure if they are going to call at any time telling me that my use exceeds "fair use" whatever that is.
I haven't gotten my full bill yet, but I expect it to be at least 100 GB I think. We'll see!
Wired internet will be more stable, and in my experience of downloading 400-500GB of TV shows per month, has a pretty high limit
PCCW is truly the most horrible, rotten company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. But the service they actually provide is very good, for a good price, so I stick with them. You just have to be very careful dealing with them, as they will scam you in ways that are completely illegal in most countries. (verbal contracts, trying to trick you into signing contract extensions, etc)

I'm downtown. It has been noticeably slower the past 2 or 3 days.
This afternoon looked like they did something because my connection was reset and I had to reset my router and modem to reconnect. But now it seems to be back to its old speed.

People that don't always get the advertised speed for example if you are on extreme and don't always get 25 mbp/s, keep in mind if you have a router and someone else in the house uses the internet it will decrease your overall speed.
